4.0 out of 5 stars Good printer with difficult wi-fi setup for older macs. (But it works!)

2025-12-27    -Vpictures

I had an older Brother printer that was 15 years old. This one is lighter but also made like most things today, more flimsy. I noticed that especially with the paper tray. It feels like one drop would shatter it. I have an older Mac and though the wired setup was easy as most reviewers mentioned. But getting the wifi setup was a pain. I followed directions and it still took several hours. I unplugged modem, printer, computer off multiple times and it would still not recognize the printer. What finally worked for me was dumping the driver and reloading. This time it automatically pulled up Bonjour and airprint which made things easier and the wi-fi works! Woo hoo! I have High Sierra (yeah, I know) so wasn't sure the wireless would connect. It prints well, and does print out of deep sleep which I didn't expect from other reviews. I hope this printer lasts as long as my old one, but since most products die faster now I would be surprised. I did not setup refresh because I don't print much and all the reviewers said it is highly annoying and full of ads. I didn't have to load any software - just the driver. I don't print from my phone so would probably have to download the app which was where folks were getting constant ads and updates. Wish it copied like my old printer but it's about 1/2 the price so you get what you pay for!

I have only had this printer for a few days and I hope this review is not too early, but it is really wonderful. This one replaces an older version that was not wi-fi enabled and worked well only with a cable hook up. I was very happy with that one too, but the cable did not work with my newer model Mac, so I researched for a laser printer that had wi-fi and the cable connection ability (in case my wi-fi was out). This model does both very well. The cable connection worked right away, and the wi-fi did too after we followed the video instructions. Just know that the device is not a full blown printer with a copier and color capability. I got really sick of those printers that always ran out of ink quickly, this laser printer works a long time before needing a new cartridge.

Buena compra

I bought this to replace an older HP ink jet printer. It prints clearer and faster than expected. The set up was easy over Wi-Fi, approximately 10 minutes from start to finish. The printer did not come with a USB cable. The Brother app for Android was easy to set up and use and works as expected. I would recommend this printer.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best printer for the Mac.

I had an expensive Canon Color Laser for a few years, and that thing would not stay connected to wifi or the Mac. This Brother printer, on the other hand, stays connected, and I don't think about it anymore. I hit print and guess what, a piece of paper comes out with my print.It's not color, but I don't find myself printing much stuff these days. That's why toner is better than ink, it doesn't dry out and lasts forever!The printer isn't very noisy, but I don't print much.As far as functionality goes, it's a black-and-white laser printer that connects to your Mac via Wi-Fi. What else do you need? I did not need to install any drivers; the Mac found the printer and installed the driver for me, and I was off to the races.The price is right, also, and I think not having to purchase Ink every month will more than pay for itself.If you need a basic black-and-white laser printer, get this one.

Meh

Muy buena, pero gasta mucha tinta por impresión, aunque pongas "draft" en config. Pero imprime excelente y nunca he tenido problema con conexión a mi compu / cel.
